The latest news on the NFL head-coaching carousel is the biggest to come out this week, as Chris Mortenson and Adam Schefter are reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles have interviewed Notre Dame Head Coach Brian Kelly for the teams’ vacant HC job.

From @adamschefter & myself: Eagles interviewed Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. Sides will revisit when Kelly returns from out of country.

To repeat, Eagles and Kelly met after the BCS title game before he left for vacation out of country. @jayglazer also reporting interest.

In addition to the Eagles, league sources say the Bears also have interest in Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly …

There is mutual interest on both sides, and the Eagles will reportedly have Kelly in for a second interview at some point after they originally interviews Kelly on Tuesday following the Fighting Irish loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the BCS national title game.

Kelly led Notre Dame to a 12-1 record and an appearance in the BCS National Championship game. The Fighting Irish became the first team to start the season unranked in the Associated Press poll and advance to the BCS National Championship game. He has a 199-68-2 overall record in his 22 seasons as head coach.
